“Build those relationships. Have those adventures. Create those memories. That's what's worth living for, right there.” Ashley Paulson never stops moving. She's a professional triathlete, ultramarathoner, 91-time marathoner, U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials qualifier and runner, iFit coach, and mom of four with hot pink hair. On this episode, Ashley talks about her recent win at the Deseret News Marathon, and about the sweet story that inspired her to run the race in honor of her father, wearing the T-shirt he got after running the race in the 80s. She reflects on the toughest times in her career, both at the races (in Kona, specifically) and off (when she was served a six-month suspension from triathlon after testing positive for a banned substance in a contaminated supplement). She shares the highs (traveling the country in an RV for two years with her husband and all four kids!), and the lows (her history with disordered eating). Ashley is a ball of energy — don't be surprised if you find yourself picking up the pace along the way. SPONSOR: AfterShokz — Visit ontherun.aftershokz.com for 15% off wireless headphones.

I've learned time and time again that the secret to creating a truly sustainable, rewarding, and profitable business comes from focus, intention, simplifying, and actually doing less.   How can doing LESS possibly create BETTER results in your business? I mean, don't you have to stay busy, show up everywhere, and do all the things to create a successful business?   Absolutely not! In fact, that's the quickest path to burnout and resentment.   Instead, it's all about creating a business that puts your life FIRST. This is about learning how to change the ways you operate in your business and giving yourself permission to do less, so you can live more. This is about running a life-giving business that provides you with a spacious schedule, flexibility in your days, and true time freedom.   Listen to this episode and learn how you can start improving your quality of life AND making more money in your business, at the same time!   My guest today is small business mentor and coach Ashley Gartland, who helps service-based business owners and online entrepreneurs simplify and streamline their business so they can scale sustainably and build a business that makes the life they desire possible.   She is the host of the Better Than Big podcast, where she shares stories, strategies and solutions to help small business owners run their business with more ease and intention. Ashley runs her six-figure business in 25 hours a week, leaving her plenty of time to enjoy the good stuff in life like trail runs, good books and adventures with her family.     What you'll learn in this episode:   How Ashley shifted from freelance writing to a coaching career Can you coach on something that you haven't yet mastered? The counterintuitive approach to business that will make you feel better AND make you more money How to let go of the stressful urgency to have to grow your business or reach your next milestone What ‘soft skills' you need to run a streamlined business   Subscribe and Review   Thanks so much for joining me this week.

Technology has made our lives easier but it has also fragmented our leisure time, creating a near-universal feeling that we have too much to do and not enough time to do it. Today we speak with Harvard Business School Assistant Professor Ashley Whillans about how our views of money and experience of time poverty impact our sense of well-being. We open our conversation by exploring the idea of time poverty, with Ashley unpacking the many factors that contribute towards feeling time-poor. Diving into the specifics, we talk about how different income groups experience time poverty and how these feelings are influenced by job satisfaction. After looking into differences in how we value time and money, Ashley shares research into how lower-income women benefit as much from being given extra time as they do from being given money. We then discuss the predictors of whether someone will prioritize time or money before chatting about the best practices and tips that will save you time and boost your well-being. Later, we hear Ashley’s insights into why wealth doesn’t lead to happiness and the need to engage in meaningful activities that increase the value of your time. With such radical changes in our work environments, we reflect on how work-from-home often deepens our feelings of time poverty. We wrap our discussion with Ashley by touching on retiring early versus working for longer, why you don’t need wealth to feel consistent happiness, and how you can incorporate time poverty into your financial planning. As Ashley’s research shows, money can be as integral as time in living a happier, more fulfilling life. Tune in to hear more about the connection between time poverty and your well-being.

"We are a part of their success. We are a part of their team.” - Ashley HackworthBTS is a seven-member South Korean boy band. They became the fastest-growing group since The Beatles to earn four US number-one albums, doing so in less than two years. The rise of BTS is in part thanks to a huge leaderless web of dedicated fans who call themself A.R.M.Y. People like Ashley Hackworth host accounts that serve as informational and even emotional hubs for millions of fans. They don’t just love BTS’s music, they support each other through mental health issues and other very human challenges, many of which the band sings about in their music. They have banded together to impact the outcome of political movements (including foiling a Trump rally this summer), raised millions of dollars for the Black Lives Matter movement, and flooded social media platforms to drown out racist voices. Members feel like they are part of this big family across the world, a point that Maggie’s 14 year-old sister Mira, a BTS superfan who helped co-hosted the interview, emphasized to us.Activism is as important as the catchy tunes for Ashley, Mira and their fellow fans. Ashley manages one of the biggest UK fan accounts for BTS. Not only does she report on what's happening with the band in the region, the account also serves as a hub for worldwide BTS news and media requests, translation requests, fundraising, and more.We talked with Ashley about how fans gather to support each other in many ways without formal leadership and beyond music. Highlights, inspiration, & key learnings:You can’t fake the funk. How Ashley discovered and first connected with BTS.Shared values. The music communicates values of activism and mental health awareness.Decentralized leadership. Creating a space where any fan can step up and see their ideas through.Watering hole. BTS fans gather on Twitter to connect over music and engage beyond in activism.Virtual gathering. K-pop and technology have historically been intertwined to bridge gaps across geography.

We often feel that the career choice we made years ago is permanent, that we are hostages of a degree we earned or a couple of decades of experience that we accumulated. But that isn’t true. In this episode of the Align podcast, Ashley Stahl and I discuss the 9 core skill sets that you should develop if you are contemplating switching careers. Plus, Ashley explains how the skills that you naturally have are more important than the interests you have. Lastly, we get to hear all about how Ashley’s impressive background in counterterrorism helped her develop soft skills that are essential for the career choice she made after leaving the Pentagon. Ashley is an angel investor, writer, career coach, podcast host, and an ex-counterterrorism professional for the Pentagon.

Hey you wild women! Joining me on today's episode is Ashley Hogrebe, Founder and Systems Strategist of Do the Damn Thing. She helps feminist creative business owners spend more time in their zone of genius and going after their goals, and less time struggling with tech. Originally from Washington State and now based in Los Angeles, Ashley has had a wild career path. She has been touring manager for a rock band, Director of Logistics and Operations for a summer camp for adults, and most recently the Operations Manager of a multi-million-dollar online course business. While her career path has been varied, they all have one thing in common: creating systems and processes in the midst of chaos. When she started her own business, Ashley thought implementing the systems and processes would be easy. She was wrong. Suffering from analysis paralysis, Ashley realized she needed to act as the visionary and the operator of her business. By implementing and streamlining the little things, she was able to successfully launch Do the Damn Thing in 2020. In this episode, you will learn about: Why Ashley's favourite quote is “done is better than perfect” How Ashley overcame her biggest pain point of believing she was not able to make her business a full-time job Why no investment is a bad investment, even if you don't get what you want from it How knowing your personality type can help you make better business decisions Overcoming imposter syndrome and learning to charge for your worth How the 'Me Too' movement led to the creation of Do the Damn Thing What's the difference between a CEO and a COO? How can you be both as a team of one? Why the COO side of things is often shelved by creatives How Ashley helps teams of one scale up their business with strong SOPs How personality tests can help you determine what systems will work for you Eliminating the shame in your systems Overcoming the belief that you don't have the personality type to run a successful and organized business How to make systems work for you Knowing when a system isn't working so that you can switch it up Must-have tools for online business owners Operations tips to get more organized in your business Resources: Website: Do The Damn Thing Instagram: dothedamnthing_ Program: How to Be your Own COO Public Shout Outs: Hello 7 Podcast: When You Think You've Tried Everything Dubsado  1Password LastPass Calendly Acuity AirTable Loom Diagrams.net What it means to be a WILD woman: “The opposite of wild is tamed, and we live in a society where patriarchy and white supremacy do everything in their power to tame, AKA oppress, marginalized people. Especially black women and people of color. When the world isn't built for marginalized genders to be wild, it can be liberating to reclaim that word. To show it fully and use it as fuel.” -Ashley Hogrebe ______________________________________________________________________ Renée Warren is an award-winning entrepreneur, a 7-figure business starter, and the founder of We Wild Women, a business dedicated to helping women launch their dream business.

I don’t believe in making art for a market, I believe in making art from your soul and then finding the right audience for it. But sometimes we are lucky enough to make the art we want, then tweak it just a bit so we can broaden our audience. My guest today has found a way to do just that. Ashley Lucas (aka Lady Lucas) is an artist whose work features smartly dressed animals and other sweet anthropomorphic characters. She has illustrated numerous children’s books, coloring books, and other cute projects. By placing her characters in the local townscape Ashley has increased the appeal of her work to a specific audience that continues to grow. In today’s conversation, I talked with Ashley about how she came up with the idea to tap into people’s love of a specific location and how she leverages it for her prints, products, and commissioned work. We also discuss how she connected with a community even before moving there, how she juggles her life as an artist with that as a mother of a two-year-old, and which social media platform offers the greatest return for her work (it's not Instagram). Even if you don't "do" cute or illustrations or location-specific art, you'll want to listen to ideas for connecting to new communities.   Highlights   Ashley Lucas describes the inspiration behind her characters. (2:22) How COVID-19 and motherhood have affected Ashley’s income streams. (6:22) Juggling a growing art business and a busy two-year-old. (9:18) The value that community connections bring to your art business. (13:18) Distinguishing between prints and commissioned pieces and how to price each. (19:01) Customizing standard city pieces without redrawing each one. (21:41) How Ashley connected with her new community before moving there. (25:25) How the pandemic has made a strong online presence more important than ever. (28:21) Marketing through TikTok and exploring current culture. (31:20) Curating email lists for artists and for promoting products. (34:13) Which social media platform generates the most work for Ashley? (35:25) Ashley’s strategy for promoting her web stores.

Originally known as Frey Ranch Estate Distillery, this is one of a few distilleries in the world that source all of their grains from their own land. Think Kilchoman in Scotland or Waterford in Ireland. Now, to a new distiller with a new farm, that might not be such an advantage, but imagine having a 160+ year history of farm/ranch ownership. Colby has a real advantage in the grain growing area of his business, but what about learning the distilling part? Find out in this interview from Whiskey Lore.

How are you living the most abundant life? As a single mom of three children, ages three years - eight weeks, Ashley's launch of Abundance Movement box subscriptions sold out in less than 82 hours! Messages were flooding her inbox with requests to make more available. There was only one thing left to do; make room for more abundance! "It's more than a subscription box, it's a movement!" Ashley speaks about her journey. We all start with zero followers. However, we learn along the way through mentorship and other people who align with our vision. It's essential to be consistent in order to find success. We can't take the weekend off from becoming our best selves. There is always room to show up one percent better than you were yesterday. Later, Ashley dives into abundance. Abundance means having it all, not feeling guilty, and owning who you are. With abundance, you know that you are worth more, and you get to have it all.

I’m SO excited to share today’s episode with you, where I’m chatting to the absolute powerhouse that is Ashley James: presenter, DJ and most recently, dating & empowerment coach and mama to be! Speaking to Ashley was like a breath of fresh air, not only because she’s so authentic (& hilarious!), but because she uses her platform and experience for good in so many different ways - the most significant to me, being her focus on single positivity and social media honesty. In this super raw episode we dive deep in to:

Building a sustainable (and successful!) business is a labor of love and it requires a deep sense of purpose to make it through those inevitable difficult times.  It is very common for entrepreneurs to create their businesses based on offers, services, and solutions they wish existed for themselves. Often your ideal client or customer looks like you (or you at an earlier time).  My guest on this week’s Beyond Influential, celebrity fitness expert Ashley Borden, developed her business ethos out of a desire to give people what she wished she had received when she was younger. Ashley took her struggle with disordered eating and her recovery process and turned it into a strength by creating a mission-driven business out of it. She is now a highly sought-after fitness expert with over 40,000 hours of personal training experience. Ashley has worked with some very high-profile clients—Christina Aguilera, Ryan Gosling, World Series Champions Nick Swisher and Brian Wilson—just to name a few.  When she’s not training celebrities, you might have seen her transforming bodies and lives on The Kelly Clarkson Show or on multiple seasons of E!’s Revenge Body with Khloé Kardashian. She has been tapped as an expert in media outlets from The Today Show, The Doctors, Rachael Ray, Steve Harvey, to publications including Vogue, In Style, Elle, Allure, Shape, Women’s Health, Self, and more!  On Ep. 143, we cover: Ashley’s journey with disordered eating: Her experience with Overeaters Anonymous and how she has incorporated it into her brand How Ashley turned her deepest struggles into a successful personal training business Why having strong values are essential to consistency in your brand Working with clients & the mistakes she made starting out How she attracted celebrity clientele, working with a publicist, & how it impacted her business growth How to vet quality trainers, especially in a social media world “fitness influencers,” tips on healthy ways to relax, and more!

In this episode of Career Thrivers, Brittany speaks with Ashley Brooke and Liz Moore from Triluna Wellness, an experiential wellness company that specializes in sustainable, realistic wellness with an emphasis on inclusivity and community. Ashley and Liz reflect on the unconventional yet fitting start to Triluna. Being both “people of action” with backgrounds in sales and marketing, it wasn’t hard for them to kickstart their wellness program as soon as they believed they had the resources and wherewithal to do so. While at first they planned on making Triluna a traditional brick-and-mortar facility, they eventually decided that they would hone in solely on services that epitomized the meaning, impact, and transformation most people in today’s world are looking for in a wellness program. It was through this decision that Ashley and Liz conceptualized Triluna’s three core services—movement, cooking, and coaching—structured around different types of gatherings, from corporate curriculum to community events. Here’s a glimpse of what you’ll learn: ● How Ashley and Liz combined their strengths and visions to create Triluna Wellness ● The “best time” to get started on your business ● Going from idea to startup launch ● Making inclusion a core value ● Dealing with unexpected challenges in business ● Building a strong network and finding mentors ● Advice for aspiring entrepreneurs Memorable Quotes:“Outwork your work.” “I don’t know that you’re ever ready for anything. You just have to be willing to jump in and go for it.” “If you don’t see yourself represented, you’re probably not going to go into that space.” “We move fast, iterate a lot, and fail a lot; but we’re always intentional. And that has been the big difference for us.” “A company culture is built from the top-down. So, by having our leadership be diverse, the company reflects that.” “Our tribe has been built so authentically, and that has just come from us speaking our minds.” Discover how Ashley and Liz are fostering diversity and inclusion in the wellness space with Triluna

This week I had the pleasure of speaking with Ashley Copeland of Stacks and the City! Ashley is an investor who teaches first-generation working professionals how to make money in the stock and real estate industry.    Ashley grew up in a family with her siblings and her single mother. She never saw her parents have much money and always worried about making sure she had savings to help out if a crisis ever struck. This lifestyle led her to her interest in investing and by the age of 21, she had saved $10K and started her portfolio as well as investing in real estate throughout her 20’s. Today she is worth over $100,000.  Her goal now is to help people make investing work for them in a simple way. In this episode we discuss: How Ashley learned about investing at the early age of 6 How her childhood upbringing played a role in her success How knowing the right people can take you far in life   More on Ashley: Ashley Copeland is a financial literacy expert that focuses on educating professional millennial women of color on how to create financial security with limited resources. She hosts a podcast called Stacks and the City which boasts over 30,000 downloads. Raised by a single mother in rural North Carolina, Ashley learned early about how money can affect your way of life.  Ashley avidly read about personal finance and homeownership throughout her teens and twenties.  As a result, Ashley used $10,000 saved from hours of serving tables and college refunds checks to open her first investment account at 21.  Ashley then purchased her first investment home at 24 and her second the following year with money steadfastly saved from working two jobs. Ashley proudly worked as a server trainer for six years at Founding Farmers and Farmers & Distillers and greatly attributes her experiences there for her financial success.  She is a graduate of Duke University with a BA in History.  Reach out!

You are not your job. You are not your roles: child, parent, spouse, friend. You are not your accomplishments. You are so much more than these identities. You can rediscover your true self through what you experience. Listen to this episode to hear how Ashley discovered parts of herself after the heartbreak and trauma of losing her husband.  Ashley is an author, speaker, and scholar. After the sudden death of her husband in 2018, she became a young widow and a single mother. She is a professor of criminal justice and has recently stepped out as an indie author with the release of her new children’s book The Girl Who Dances With Skeletons: My Friend Fresno.Quotes to remember: “I literally, trauma after trauma, started knocking those labels off. They didn’t exist anymore.” “You’re more compassionate and you are braver and you are kinder because you’ve hurt and your heart has hurt.”“There’s a bigger story written than I can see, and I’m just trying to walk it.”Takeaways:Your old life will never come back after a life-changing experienceFear of success is as real as fear of failureYou can use your trauma to define your purposeGive yourself permission to let your story unfold in a new way; you are more than any single identityIs there a way to say “thank you” after a door has slammed in your face?Just because the ending was unwanted doesn’t mean that the story wasn’t beautifulYou don’t need to put off celebration and joy; what if joy looks different from what we thought it would be?What you’ll learn:How Ashley lost her husband and best friend, thinking bad things only happen to other peopleHer process of rediscovering her own creativity in the grief Why Ashley transitioned her joy of writing into a book seriesHow to be there with someone who is grievingHow she transitioned into a new way of being after her old identities fell awayHow Ashley came full circle with her grief, trauma, and heartbreak to be grateful for what has happenedAbout her relationship with a higher powerMentioned on the podcast: https://www.ashleywellman.com/index.htmlhttp://myfriendfresno.com/Lauren Daigle

Have you ever wanted to try a 365 Project but don’t know where to start? Or did you start and give up part way through? Or is this your first time even hearing about a 365 project?  A 365 project is where you take an image a day for an entire year. My friend Ashley Marston has been photographing her daily life with her family in this way for over 6 years! She’s made capturing memories a habit and will inspire you to do the same. In our conversation, Ashley will peel back the curtain and tell you all about her inspiring project – from fun gear to how to display your images to staying motivated – she’s got all the best advice. In addition to capturing personal work, Ashley is also a phenomenal family photographer serving clients in British Columbia. You’re going to learn so much about balancing personal and professional projects in this episode! In this podcast we cover: How burritos bonded our friendship and the basics of Ashley’s work.  At Clickaway, we met when she offered me her burrito and we’ve been friends ever since! Ashley is a birth and family photographer and 6 years ago, she started “A Daily Occurance,” a 365 project documenting her own family. She’s also started creating family films like the ones below. Switching gears and styles in photography. (7:00) Her process of choosing to specialize in documentary style work. “I think that when you’re really passionate about something and you’re driven by something, people see that and they’re drawn to it.” Showing what you want to shoot really works. We talk about the fear in changes – including Ashley’s shift away from traditional newborn photography. How Ashley got started doing her 365 project. (12:50) She decided to start the project when she realized that life was going so fast and she wanted to capture the daily moments with her kids. It’s a time capsule of sorts to really remember the moments that matter. These images could communicate to her kids her love for them and journal her way through their story. It helps her own her motherhood journey, but also technically become a better photographer through shooting daily.  How Ashley finds inspiration doing this project year after year. (18:00) “Them in themselves is an inspiration.” She also mentions the kids’ connection with the animals help too. But there definitely are dull days and dreary months. Honing in on details helps give new inspiration. Ashley’s go-to camera. (20:30) Her camera is always on her – it even goes with her to the grocery store! She shoots a Canon 5D Mark IV and takes it everywhere. She doesn’t use iPhone photos in the project – only her Canon or the drone.  Do her kids get tired of being photographed? (22:45) Definitely, there are times when she kids don’t want to do it or they complain. She reminds them of their importance, but doesn’t bribe her kids into doing it. Ashley makes it a big part of their lives including printing canvases and books as well as making slideshows that her kids love to watch. She takes photos of her kids not looking or noticing. Let them be. When they’re feeling it, take advantage of that, if they’re not, let it rest.  How to stay motivated and complete a project like this. (3:00) Ashley’s top tips: Keep your camera out. Have a central location in your house – but don’t pack it away in your camera bag. Have it readily available.  Shoot and edit daily. Ashley edited during nap time or quiet times to edit. You get faster at culling. She chooses to post daily on social media and made that decision as a family. She’s usually one day behind – posting the next day. Shoot throughout the days and potentially call these shots different days. She’ll bank photos. Break the rules and be okay with it.  Ashley’s gear list to help keep her images fresh and fun. (37:30) She has done all the fun little tricks – she calls it her “tickle trunk” which is a Canadian thing from a children’s tv show. Because she lives in an area with a lot of water (ocean, lake, and river) she does underwater work both for her 365 project and client work. She’s now an ambassador for Aquatech. Her drone is also something she uses for personal and client work. She recommends the Mavic Mini for a cheaper solution that doesn’t require a drone license. Self care as a creative and mother. (51:15) Ashley sees her personal work as what feeds her soul. It lights the fire inside of her and helps get her through the other culling and editing work. Her 365 project is now habitual and she can’t see herself ever stopping. How Ashley displays her photos. (55:00) She recommends Chatbooks and Blurb for printing books. Also look below to see the canvases on display in her home. I also recommend Fracture for glass prints.   Episode Links: HoneyBook: www.share.honeybook.com/twyla In addition to a FREE 7 day trial and 50% off your first year of HoneyBook, you'l also receive the templates I use to communicate with my clients preloaded in your account!   If you want to connect with me, my guests and other listeners in the Emotional Storytelling community join the Facebook group here.   Follow along: www.instagram.com/ashleymarstonphotography www.instagram.com/somethingrad www.instagram.com/twyla.jones www.instagram.com/emotionalstorytelling   Share on Pinterest:

The pandemic has caused some unusual things. Social distancing? Conspiracy theorists? The uptick in “uncoupling”? We’ve found ourselves on different pages in two major parts of our lives.

Investing time in these areas has also left the other behind - hence, we are on different pages.

What we talked about in this episode: What the extra time during the pandemic has looked like for us How Ashley brought up this conversation This method is NOT recommended!
